Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of verification, in particular to a flowmeter verification device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The flowmeter verification device is a professional equipment specially used for verifying and calibrating the measurement accuracy and performance of a flowmeter (such as a flow sensor or a flow transmitter). The core function thereof is to compare the measurement result of the flowmeter with a known-accuracy flow standard value, so as to judge whether the error range of the flowmeter meets the requirements and to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the flowmeter in actual application.

[0003] For example, the patent with the publication number CN220120213U discloses a gas flowmeter verification device. The gas flowmeter verification device can automatically detect whether the speed fan is running by means of the laser detector, the wire tube and the remote transmission device. When the speed fan stops running due to long-time gas erosion, the laser detector detects the information, which is then transmitted to the remote transmission device through the wire tube. The remote transmission device sends a signal to the staff through a remote system, so that the staff can find the problem in time and repair it, thereby avoiding the error problem of the flow detection meter during detection.

[0004] During the use of the flowmeter, the flow may fluctuate frequently in the actual working condition. Therefore, the performance of the flowmeter needs to be verified in the entire range of the flowmeter. If a single flow is used, the error of the flowmeter at some flow points may not be found, which will affect the accuracy of the flowmeter in actual application and may cause errors and losses in the production process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] It should be noted that the embodiments in the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0031] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the application scheme, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the scope of protection of the application.

[0032] As Figure 1 The application provides a flowmeter calibration device, which is mainly installed on a calibration platform and is used for calibrating a flowmeter. Specifically, the flowmeter calibration device comprises a fixed frame 1 fixedly installed on the calibration platform and a calibration mechanism 2 arranged on the fixed frame 1. The calibration mechanism 2 compares the known rated fluid flow with the reading of the flowmeter to be calibrated, so as to calibrate the flowmeter.

[0033] The calibration mechanism 2 comprises a plurality of groups of stands 20 fixedly arranged on the fixed frame 1, and clamps 21 are fixedly arranged on the upper ends of the stands 20. A water pipe 22 is arranged between the clamps 21 and is used for transporting fluid.

[0034] And the upper end of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly provided with a water tank 23, which is used for temporarily storing the fluid required for calibration, and a water pump (not shown in the figure) is arranged inside the water tank 23, and the input end of the water pipe 22 penetrates the water tank 23 and is connected with the output end of the water pump, so that the fluid can be pumped into the water pipe 22 for transportation and use by the water pump during calibration;

[0035] Meanwhile, the other side of the upper end of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly provided with a platform 25, the upper end of which is used for placing the to-be-tested flowmeter 24, and the to-be-tested flowmeter 24 is fixedly connected with the output end of the water pipe 22;

[0036] Therefore, when the to-be-tested flowmeter 24 needs to be checked, the preset rated water flow can be pumped out from the water tank 23 by the water pump, and then the rated water flow is guided into the to-be-tested flowmeter 24 through the water pipe 22, at this time the to-be-tested flowmeter 24 measures the flow and outputs the corresponding reading, and finally the measurement error of the to-be-tested flowmeter 24 can be calculated by comparing the reading of the to-be-tested flowmeter 24 with the rated water flow.

[0037] In order to prevent the error of the to-be-tested flowmeter 24 at some flow points from being found, an adjusting mechanism 3 is arranged at one end of the water pipe 22 close to the flowmeter 24, which verifies the measurement accuracy of the to-be-tested flowmeter 24 at different flow points by dynamically adjusting the water flow, as shown in the figure. Figures 1-2 The adjusting mechanism 3 includes a base 32 fixedly arranged at the upper end of the water pipe 22, and a valve rod 31 rotatably arranged at the upper end of the base 32, and one end of the valve rod 31 penetrates the water pipe 22 and extends into the interior of the water pipe 22 to form an extending end, and a valve plate 30 is fixedly arranged on the extending end, so that the valve rod 31 can be rotated to rotate the valve plate 30 in the water pipe 22, and the size of the valve plate 30 matches the inner diameter of the water pipe 22, so as to control the flow in the water pipe 22 later;

[0038] And in order to adjust the flow, an arc plate 33 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the valve rod 31, and a handle 34 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the arc plate 33, so that the staff can rotate the handle 34 to drive the arc plate 33 to rotate synchronously with the valve plate 30;

[0039] Meanwhile, a sliding groove 35 is formed in the arc plate 33, and a scale is marked at the position of the sliding groove 35, which is used to correspond to different angles of the valve plate 30 in the water pipe 22, so that the water flow in the water pipe 22 can be changed by changing the angle of the valve plate 30 in the water pipe 22, and then the required water flow can be determined by observing the scale;

[0040] And the base 32 is provided with a positioning bolt 36 threaded, the positioning bolt 36 is arranged through the sliding slot 35, so that the arc plate 33 can be driven to rotate along the sliding slot 35 by rotating the handle 34;

[0041] When the water flow in the water pipe 22 needs to be adjusted, the arc plate 33 can be driven to rotate along the sliding slot 35 by rotating the handle 34, at this time the valve plate 30 rotates synchronously with the arc plate 33, until the positioning bolt 36 points to the corresponding scale on the arc plate 33, and then the rotation is stopped, at this time the valve plate 30 presents a corresponding angle in the water pipe 22, so as to block the water flow through the angle of the valve plate 30 in the water pipe 22, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the water flow in the water pipe 22;

[0042] At the same time, in order to lock the valve plate 30, when the appropriate angle is rotated, the arc plate 33 can be locked by rotating the positioning bolt 36 close to the arc plate 33, so as to lock the position of the valve plate 30, so as to smoothly calibrate the flowmeter to be tested, when the angle needs to be changed, only the positioning bolt 36 needs to be rotated away from the arc plate 33 to unlock, at this time the valve plate 30 can be driven to change the angle by rotating the handle 34 to adjust the flow.

[0043] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
